[Larry Lambo]

Put $75M in a long term CD, $25M in a mutual fund. And play with the $14M left.

True, but many more allow a trust to claim it for you so you can still hide your identity

Yep NY. does allow for a trust but the ny lottery would still release the same in the paper in a small article just not your face...

If I hit I'm gonna buy me a sick ass crib in vancouver and chill out until the heat dies down... Then come back and start buying real estate on the low...

 

[3rdWorld]

Glad it's an older breh

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

I’d take the payments. Your estate gets them when you die, so you can set up your fam when you’re gone and spend what you can while you’re alive.

180 mil is the cash they actually have on hand. They advertise 280 mil cuz they're guaranteeing that rate of return over 30 years. If they feel comfortable guaranteeing that rate, there's little doubt in my mind that I could beat it on my own. I'm taking the lump sum.

With that said, most people don't have the self control or financial savvy so they would be better off taking the installments and guaranteeing they won't go broke in the next 30 years (unless they did something real stupid like sold the annuity for a lump sum later).

Is it a requirement to reveal all your info to the public when you win this shyt?

Mo money, mo problems

I would have on a Michael Myers mask and once the pics are done , I’ll hop on the waiting helicopter outside to the airport to the private jet to take me to a unclosed location

I’d wear a mask so my fam couldn’t hit me up

“Nikka how you got so much money?”

 

[Ribbs]

Hope he buys that red Porsche AFTER he's moved to a tropical island or somewhere remote.

The average person playing the lottery, scratch that the majority of people playing the lottery likely don't even know what a trust is, let alone how to set up one to claim their winnings.

If he invests 100m and gets a 5% yearly return, he will have 432 million dollars after 30 years.

 

[Dont@Me]

He should watch that attorney,


he will finally buy the red Porsche he's always wanted "so everyone can see me when I drive on the street."



Stay low-key brotha, there is wolves in these streets

Exactly my thoughts. I would’ve skipped the interview, stay low key, keep my job for at least another few months to not raise suspicion, and drive the same bummy car for a while . This nikka seems like he just wants the attention.

People quit their jobs all the time. More importantly, who cares if anyone finds out. Move to any rich area in America and he has nothing to worry about anymore. Any town filled with billionaires and celebrities that's more successful than you, and buy a moderately priced property there. Them nikkas can try to run up in Greenwich, CT or Beverly Hills if they want.

so you would go to an open location

 

[Rockstar Mom]

Mask or not, NY will still put your name in the papers.

In any case, the reason why you can’t stay anonymous in most states, is they don’t want you dodging your debts. They figure since you won the lottery, you shouldn’t have a problem paying off your CC, Student loan and CS debts

Get yo money black man.

This is all I came to say and all that matters.

Get yo money black man.
